“Yvonne was great with taking care of our dog when we needed someone for a last minute trip. She was quick to schedule a meet and greet, was very kind, and was always quick to respond whenever I messaged her to check in. I would definitely recommend her and will rebook with her in the future!”
About: I am a work from home mom with 4 kids, who will love to play with your pouch! Your dog will always be entertained and given loving attention. Our family dog passed away and our kids are really looking forward to having your dog(s) to love and care for, while you are away. Pet sitting is the perfect opportunity for them to engage, while being comforted by their loss. I have experience with extra large dogs, bathing, and administering medicine. Our last dog was very high need: anxiety, food allergies, dermatitis issues, etc. He required so much attention that has prepared me to adapt to the pet sitting role! My kids are really great around dogs, they know appropriate play and safety rules. We keep all fences locked and a gate at the front door while we have a dog with us. I am widely available to care for your pet. I am a stay at home mom and homeschool the kids, I am almost always around to care for dog(s)! I have a large fully fenced yard your pooch can freely explore and welcome anywhere in the home. I can provide a warm snuggly bed or a quiet area if needed.
About: Of my 10 years of pet care experience, 8 of those years includes veterinary medicine. I love all different kinds of animals, and am good with all types of personalities, fear levels, and temperaments. I can also administer medications and care for pets with special needs. My other work is freelance, so my schedule is usually open and flexible. Overnight stays are easy for me to configure, and I'm able to prioritize your pets in my schedule. My main priority is the pets safety and happiness. I have experience de-escalating anxiety, redirecting aggression, and navigating tension between pets. I always double leash dogs for walks and I am experienced with all varieties of leash, walk, and play based behavior.
“Samantha did a great job with my little Kitty Whompuss. She was timely and very responsible. Her visit photos were great and made me feel like my fur ball was in good hands while I was away. I will absolutely ask for her support again in the future.”
“Caelyn was amazing! Our cats LOVED her and they can be discerning judges of character. She left our place immaculate and spent time with each kitty, plus sent lots of photos! We are so grateful for her dedication and care for our fur babies!”
“Matthew was absolutely fantastic with our two girls! They immediate took a liking to him when they first met and by the time we go back from our trip both the girls were more calm and well behaved than when we left. Matthew also sent us pictures of our girls every day so we wouldn't miss them as much. Thank you, Matthew!”
“Melissa was a fantastic sitter! She was so communicative and made sure we knew Sunny was good! Even over the holidays, she was on time and put love and care into taking care of our pup! I will definitely book her again!”
“This week I was unable to make it home at lunch each day to let my pups out but I wasn’t worried about them because Deidre was available to do drop in visits. She is amazing and both my pups love it when she visits them”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m an avid hiker and have been lucky to share many trails with amazing “trail dogs” over the years. I’ve also pet sat for coworkers, doing drop-ins multiple times a day, and I’m currently providing overnight care for a puppy—something I truly enjoy. Over time, I realized this is something I’d love to do more of. When I say “us,” I mean my little household too: I have a mixed-breed dog and a cat. My cat is gentle and friendly and gets along well with dogs. My dog, Ziggy, is my first male and a rescue from the pound. He’s been a challenge at times, but with patience, consistency, and lots of love, he’s made wonderful progress—and continues to do so. Because of that experience, I have a special place in my heart for shelter dogs and pets who may need a little extra patience, care, and understanding. I’d love the opportunity to offer that same compassion and support to your pets, helping them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I happily offer drop-ins and overnight care on weekends and holidays. If there would be a special need, we most likely could work this out. I care for pets based on their normal routine and your preferences. Whether in your home or during overnights, I focus on feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, along with any special instructions you provide. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining the routine they’re used to.
“Hannah did a fantastic job looking after our kitties while we were on vacation. Very good communication, and all the fuzzy ones were doing well when we came home. Definitely a keeper!”
“Alejandra has been providing 1x a week check ins over lunch for my aussie Cosmo over the last few months, and she does a fantastic job! She's very communicative and flexible when I've had last minute cancelations, always shows up on time, and sends me the most adorable photos of Cosmo every week. I would definitely recommend Alejandra to anyone looking for someone reliable to drop in on their pups and give them some love while they're at work 😊”
“Gabriele is an exceptional dog sitter; knowlegable, capable and notibly caring about dogs, even anxious fearful dogs like mine. I felt cofident and constantly reassured that Gabriele could competently address any issue that could arise with my dog. I would happily recommend and rebook her. She is stupendous!!”
“Madisyn was competent and comfortable coming for drop-in with my two older pups. They both need meds and have specific instructions for taking them. Madisyn handled it all very well! I felt comfortable leaving them knowing she’d be by soon. I look forward to her sitting for them more!”
“Kaci is so amazing in every way, I can tell she really cares about my home and all my babies well-being. It's so nice to not have to worry about my senior cat that needs medication. She will be my go-to for every sitting job for as long as she'll have me!”
“My dog Luna absolutely loves her! ❤️ Ana took such great care of Luna and made me feel completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. She was caring, responsible, and kept me updated throughout her stay. I’m so grateful for all the love and attention she gave Luna. We will definitely book with her again! 🐶💕”
“Ellen was absolutely amazing!! We even had to ask her so last minute and she graciously accepted. We would not hesitate to have her watch our dogs again and will be asking her anytime she’s available. Thanks Ellen!”
About: I’ve had pets of my own since I was 10 and have trained dogs, cats, and fish. My fiance and I currently have two handsome fluffy cats, a leopard gecko, and a successful freshwater aquascape with tetras, a honey gourami, and neocaridina shrimp. I have had dogs for most of my life until about a year ago, when mine passed away. Now, I’m looking to spend some time with others’ furry friends. I work for a children’s museum, so my workday typically starts later and ends by 6. I have Sundays off consistently and a flexible schedule based on events and outreach during the school year, so I’m free to stop by and spend time with your pets as needed. I only do drop-in visits at present, but I would love to set up a time to meet your pets and get introduced to their care routine before I start to care for them. I am happy to do aquatic maintenance and care for exotic pets in your home as well, including reptiles, rodents, and insects. I’ve worked in professional husbandry for fish and invertebrates, so I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to care for all of your pets, not just cats and dogs, though I adore them too. Let me know what you’re looking for and I’m happy to accommodate.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lacey is $22

This was my second time booking with Kayley and she is great! I have a cat who requires a little more work and has to wear a diaper but Kayley has handled it perfectly without issues or complaints. She is the first person other than friends/family who has watched my 2 cats and I feel very comfortable and confident leaving my fur babies in her care.
I've never used a pet sitter before so I was kind of apprehensive about how things might go but Rachel put my mind at ease with her confidence and pet-friendly attitude. My two kitties are super-skittish around visitors but Rachel made every effort to get them to come out of hiding. She was mindful of keeping their breakfast routine and refreshing their litter box and went above and beyond to hand wash their Delectables food bowls so there wouldn't be any lingering smells in the house when I returned home. She even ended up having to respond to a little bit of kitty 'urp', cleaning the spot. I would definitely have Rachel sit for my kitties again if I have a need in the future.
Yvonne had a very calm and confident demeanor from the start. She was easy to communicate with, and quickly took to Jax. She was an asset while we were away. She handled Jax well too. She took him on two walks daily, and he is not easy on leash for me, but she had him walking at her side with slack in the leash. Jax can be reactive towards other animals, but Yvonne handled interactions with other dogs well. She kept me updated with photos and texts throughout the week and even helped with charging our door battery when it died. I'm confident that I will continue to use Yvonne for Jax's care when we are away, and am considering some training sessions with her as well.
Chandra is an angel! Our dogs absolutely adore her and she’s always punctual and so, so respectful of our home and space.🧡 Leaving your animals is hard, but being able to step away without having to worry about the quality of care they’re receiving in your absence is priceless!
Bridget is our go-to sitter for our kitties always! She's a great communicator and sends regular photo updates. She takes such good care of them while we are away, we don't need to stress about their care at all. We have several cats and even our two most timid cats come out to see her for pets and attention. When they trust someone it says something. We will always recommend her to anyone who asks. Thank you Bridget!
Sarah was really understanding with our very shy kitty. Cleo hid from her the whole time we were away but Sarah made the effort to ensure Cleo was safe and healthy. Sarah scoop the litter box, checked on the food and water, and just let Cleo know she wasn’t alone. Thank you!
This was our first time using Rover and I am very pleased. Allison did an amazing job taking care of my two cats. She communicated well with me and even cleaned up after their messes. I feel more at ease knowing that I can trust the care of my cats when needed again in the future.
Gabriele is an exceptional dog sitter; knowlegable, capable and notibly caring about dogs, even anxious fearful dogs like mine. I felt cofident and constantly reassured that Gabriele could competently address any issue that could arise with my dog. I would happily recommend and rebook her. She is stupendous!!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lacey is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,626 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lacey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lacey. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
